Must. Go.Seems like some reporter here doesn’t much know how to transcribe Palinese: “And there must be something about San Francisco and he because it’s like I heard on Fox News today, it’s like a truth serum where when he’s there, he seems to be more candid, and remember it was there that he talked about, there you go, the bitter clingers, the cling-ons, all of us, I guess, you know holding on to religion and guns and, um, so something about he being there in San Francisco.” It is spelled “Klingon,” as in, “Sarah Palin is a horribly mean space alien called a Klingon, and these are her Klingon friends.” This word is so much better than “Bitter.” So we’ll give this transcriber a free pass — BUT ONLY ONCE, SEE? Also: Jesus, did anyone understand any of that quote?? [CNN]

Sadly, The Constitution grants her the right to speak….like a fucking moron.

Forget the cling-ons, what about the bitter Klingers? Is Jamie Farr still in the army and pissed about it?

…Is she trying to imply that BO is gay? Deriving gay libtard truthiness power from his crystal palace in SF, like fucking superman? Or is she calling him Superman? …so confused.

And Sarah adds: “It’s the far-left wing of the [Democratic ]party is getting ready to take over the entire federal government.”

Like I didn’t already expect that. Geez, lady, gimme some news I don’t know in my heart is true.

SayItWithWookies November 3, 2008 at 1:47 pm

“Just yesterday, revelation, an audiotape surfaces,” Palin argued, despite the fact that the Obama interview has been posted online for nine months.

That’s in keeping with her idea that 4.6 billion years is about the same as 6,000 years.

I’m just waiting for her head to explode from all this thinking. Well, I guess it’s not really thinking. Hmm, not sure what word to use. I guess, I’ll just say that I see Bible Spice as robot on the verge of meltdown.

thesycophant November 3, 2008 at 1:49 pm

I was skimming and thought that was one of those Hilarious Wonkette Exaggeratino Quotes (hwecks), but then I saw that it was actually really from Sarah Palin and somehow I found another piece of me inside that could still die.

They mentioned San Francisco, so you know it was some sort of smear.

Also from CNN today, this guy who is still wrestling with “moral issues” and so he’s still undecided about who to vote for: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/03/undecided.voters/index.html

I’m pretty sure those moral issues are, “If I tell people who I’ve decided to vote for, then no one will care what I think as an undecided voter anymore! Halp! i needz teh attenshun!”

Now THERE’S the litmus test for any future candidate once Hopey rides into DC on the back of his Unicorn.

See you in ’16, Republicans. Hopefully, you’ll have recaptured your party from The Raptured.

Without the filter of the librul media her speech flows like William F. Buckley (if he was brain-damaged, disoriented, and re-programmed in Fargo).

Hopey dont play that game: Your name shouldn’t have “game.” If your name is derived from Homey the Clown of In Living Color fame, it’s “Homey, don’t play that.” Hence. “Hopey, don’t play that.” Getting this right is just as important as voting. You accidentally exposed your whiteness, didn’t you?

Cogito Ergo Bibo November 3, 2008 at 2:33 pm

Given she clearly speaks a different, as yet unknown to the rest of humanity language, maybe she IS part of an alien race.

Palin in a Star Trek porn would make bank. Plus, the Klingon currency is strong against the dollar.

skroocap November 3, 2008 at 2:50 pm

She’s a poet. You need the line breaks to get it:

Something About San Francisco and He

And there must be something
about San Francisco and he

because it’s like I heard
on Fox News today,
it’s like a truth serum
where when he’s there,
he seems to be
more candid,
and remember it was there
that he talked about,
there you go,
the bitter clingers,
the cling-ons,
all of us,
I guess,
you know
holding on to religion
and guns and,

um,

so something about
he being there
in San Francisco.

Sheesh. What IS it with these Republicans and their histrionic San Francisco phobia?

But maybe she’s on to something. When she stopped by the Hyatt at SFO last month, she told the gathering how happy she was to be in Marin County. The only way you can simultaneously be in Marin AND at SFO is through some kind of Klingon hyperspace voodoo.

Rusty Shackleford November 3, 2008 at 3:26 pm

How come every time she opens her mouth, it makes me think of Alex Karras’ character in “Blazing Saddles?”

In that context, “Mongo merely pawn in game of life” takes on an entirely new meaning.

Hagar7 November 3, 2008 at 9:45 pm

I think it’s so beautiful that they’re transcribing her word-for-word; you can’t look at that with a straight face and argue that she’s qualified for anything except a “Flowers for Algernon” cold read. She makes Dubya sound like Atticus fucking Finch, and that, “my friends,” is a tall order.
